Document Summary
A dynamic and integrated process that combines information from sense organs with memories of past experiences, expectations or likely future actions, attention, motivation, and context. Principles of auditory scene analysis: grouping, completion. Specific frequencies resonate at different locations along the basilar membrane. > rate of vibration or changes in air pressure from low to high. > ration between two sounds in terms of magnitude or air pressure disturbance. Frequency, amplitude, and phase of simple sine-wave tones. Segregation and integration of sound relative to their source. Segmentation of sound into auditory streams: grouping similar sounds together and separating them from others. Association of auditory streams with mental representations. Principles of sound segmentation resemble principles of visual organization (gestalt psychology) Spoken word shoe in a mixture of sounds. Determine movement on lake based on two floaters in 2 small streams (depicted in drawing) Same theory used for the right picture use waves to determine movement.
